It is bad enough that President Trump has managed to normalize immoral behavior. His distraction tirades over kneeling during the national anthem are now serving to undermine one of our democracy’s greatest strengths — freedom of speech.

A man who used five deferments to avoid serving his country in the military has no right to question the patriotism of other Americans.

Philadelphia Eagles, you serve your country better in not giving Mr. Trump a White House photo opportunity.
